I do. It's gotta end sometime. I don't see this Friday as having any more likelihood than any other day.

Friday, no. If I thought it was going to end Friday,all due respect to everyone, but I wouldn't be sitting here making posts on TRF or anywhere else. I'd be out making the best use of the remaining 3 or so days.

In the bigger picture, yeah, it'll end someday. Such as the sun beginning to die out, or a big enough asteroid impact.

Or, the planet becoming unable to sustain human life. From something like a smaller asteroid impact (dinosaur killer size), or manmade one way or another (greenhouse effect gone amok, or an uncurable manmade virus that has a 100% fatality rate). Though in those cases the "World" would still be here, humans would not (Maybe some could live out a few decades or so underground if prepared long in advance, but long-term: "it's dead, Jim").

Is the end of the world going to occur all at once or does it start at the international date line and work its way around? Just wondering how that all works out.

I'm taking the long view and am planning on getting in early on some tropical beachfront property on Hudson's Bay.
 
It's ending on Friday?
Crap!

Note to self:
Move launch day to Thursday.

Yes, the aliens aim the ray at the international date line (we tell them wher it is on Thursday). They leave it on for 24 hours as we cook on the giant rotissarie.

BTW, no you are not allowed to run to an already burnt area to survive.
 
I believe in the end of the world - it's 62 miles straight up - that's where space starts right?
:wink:

Be less worried about the sun blowing up and more worried that Black Brant now has his Tripoli card! I hear he's planning a big launch on Friday...


(sorry Matt, I couldn't help myself!)

Weeelll...I will be at work at the Fire Department Thursday and Friday.

Although I don't believe the world will end, I am sure those two days will be quite entertaining!


All the best, James
 
I DO, repeat DO, intend to wake up VERY early, walk outside, and yell "COME AT ME BRO" while banging pots and pans together.
 
That's funny. I *don't think* any part of the human race will ever see the end of the world, but I do believe it's inevitable. I just hope it holds off 'til after I get back from Tulum in February!

I need an 1200 ''' mmt motor mount, to escape this planet ,

but first I'm going to eat all the meat left in my Refrigerator
 
The world has already ended. What everyone is perceiving is the Matrix simulation for the remnants of the population in rocket powered arks heading to a new planet



:wink:
 
Of course I do. I know what I am talking about, I have been through so many of them already...:wink:

The world will end, in I predict, five billion years. A lot of people do not realize that "The end of the world" and "The end of humanity" are different things, humanity will eventually die out or be absorbed, entropy says that this type of complex system will end...eventually. All these end of the world messages and other fear-mongering is just a way to do one thing, sell books, look at your local Borders, wait not any more...ahem...Barnes and Noble and take a peak at the "Apocalypse" section. Shelf after shelf after shelf of books, and they sell well these days. Fear always creates a great market.
 
Thanks nh4cio4, I'm checking ancestry.com to make sure I'm not related to any of those folk! I feel a prediction coming on---whew--that was close!
 
Yes...

The world will end, or rather be destroyed in approximately 5 BILLION years as the Sun swells into a red giant phase of it's death..The 3 inner planets(Mercury, Venus and Earth) will be swallowed up..Will humans be around when that time comes? Doubtful...I give humanity about another 200 thousand years...Provided we don't blow ourselves up before then...
